I think it is telling you that your machine has a different time than
your isp. If you run it without -q and then again, it should have set
the time, and the offset would be small.

So if you want your clock to appear 5 minutes fast and you are in EST5EDT
(AKA US/Eastern) you can "export TZ=EST4:55EDT" or something.

Alright, it took me a bit to grasp this, but I conjured up a TZ setting for MCST/MCDT which displays my local LAN-time correctly (on this box) & now shows virtually no difference w/ my ISP, which I think is correct (right ?). If this is so, then I can dispense w/ my little munging program & just use ntp directly (no ntpdate/adjtime) & this machine will display time correctly, right ? If so, then I think I need to make the same mod on other boxen, right ? Thanks & TIA :-) ....
